When Big Sister E was born, our first introduction to diapers was in the hospital with the Pampers Swaddlers that were used.

They were soft, they were absorbent, they were easily adjustable... the nurses didn't even act like they minded having to go off in search of the size 1 diapers since I had to go and have a jumbo baby (10 pounds, 5 ounces) that didn't fit in the newborn ones that were stocked and ready.

After we brought our little girl home, it only seemed natural that we would continue to use the diapers that we had grown accustomed to - not to mention that if the hospital used them, they had to be the best, right?

Although that didn't stop us from trying out nearly every single other brand of diapers out there, over the years we always returned to Pampers and they will always remain my favorite. So what could make them better? Improvements to the line of Pampers Cruisers that have made them out-perform even themselves!

Taking into account what parents have been asking for, the new line of Pampers Cruisers diapers now includes a softer, quilted backsheet that is similar to Swaddlers, a longer absorbent core, a comfortable 3-way fit, and adorable new Sesame Street designs on both the front and back.

After hearing all that, we were excited to check them out in person and see how much these improvements could make Pampers Cruisers even better than before.

Opening the package, I was happy to take a whiff of that new baby smell that Pampers infuses into their diapers and we pulled out a selection to see their bright colors and fun designs.

And when I said adorable, I meant it!

Although it was hard to see much of anything besides the complete cuteness of these characters (including the never-before-seen appearance by Oscar the Grouch!), these diapers came just in time for us to try out before diving into the fun of potty training.

Just as I knew that they would, the new Pampers Cruisers completely impressed me in their performance. The 3-way fit really does add comfort to the waist, legs, and bottom and I love how stretchy the sides and elastic is to fit Little Sister B perfectly. Considering how active she is, these did a great job keeping up every step of the way. Her skin was always soft and dry and we never had a single leak - two aspects of a great diaper!

Plus, c'mon. The cuteness had all of us giggling and pointing out our favorite pals many times...

From the fun, colorful, new designs to the quilted softness to the 12 hour leakage protection, I wasn't sure that I could like Pampers any more than I did before, but their new Cruisers have accomplished just that. Although we're just on our way of being done with diapers in our household, I would absolutely recommend these to any new mom without hesitation.

Pampers has been a leader in baby care for more than 40 years and I, for one, am thankful for their continual work and care to improve parenthood everywhere. And, thanks to their generosity, one person will be able to see just how much they enjoy the new diaper changes as well, because...
